Day 27- April 16- Rupert

Putting this up so that I won't have three to do when I come home from camping! Today was a BEAUTIFUL day, sunny, warm despite the wind!! I followed Mark with his dogs this morning, and rode them across the long lake, will post pictures later from that!! Then had some excitement with the rest of the town this afternoon when we waited for "the plane of wonders"... hehehe


This plane was due to fly overhead to drop out candies and clothing and other things. It boggled my mind how this kind of thing would shape up, so I went with what seemed to be EVERYONE from town more or less behind my house. There was hundreds of people, excited, hyper, anxious and enthusiastically waiting for the plane to start one of it's many passes above us. It was quite a fun thing to experience. I only got one candy bar that Stephanie picked up for me, but took lots of pictures. It was very fun!!


Rupert was one of the many people out there. He's a great little guy and one of the biggest hockey freaks I know in town. Over the past winter he has been at my neighbour's ice rink for hours and hours each day playing hockey with his friends or shooting the puck alone. He's so hard core about hockey, that he lugs the bag back and forth from the arena daily to his practices for the team as well. He's training to be a goalie I think, so the bag is almost twice his size. It's a great testament to the positive influence that hockey is having on our kids in town. They are learning about healthy living and also about discipline and commitment! He's a super kid.
